THE IMPORTANCE OF SPECIFYING THE CORRECT PERFORMANCE FLOOR
Green roofs are already known for their ability to attenuate water, but this can now be enhanced with blue roof technol- ogy. Here the roof not only stores water but is also able to delay water discharge after a high inten- sity rainfall event and release it at a pre-determined rate. Optigreen’s newly approved RIBA article ‘Blue Roofs: what are they and how are they used’ looks at how this can be achieved practically and why this type of specification is likely to become more commonplace in the future. 0203 5899 400
